Hi

Yes you are eligible for alimony. 

Either a woman is working or not, she is entitled for maintenance from her husband 

If you go for mutual consent divorce then it would take around 1.5 month to get divorced. 

If you go for contested divorce case then it could take something form 1 to 3,4,5 years to get divorced. 

Thanks 

You can file divorce case on the grounds of cruelty after completion of one year from the date of marriage.

you may not be eligible for maintenance since you are employed and drawing handsome income to sustain your expenses.

You may even try for mutual consent divorce but that too only after completion of one year after marriage, and the criteria is that you both should have lived separately away from each at least one year. 

What is equal distribution of assets?

There is no provision in  law to demand a share from his personal and own assets neither he can claim any share out of your own properties.

Dear Madam,

Divorce by Mutual Consent is the fastest, cheapest and most stress free way of getting Divorce in India. It can take between six months and eighteen months from the date of the filing of the Mutual Consent Divorce Petition. Contested Divorce will take 2 to 3 years to decree the case.

Earlier working wives were not entitled to maintenance however, with passage of time and subsequent amendments in law, the right to maintenance has finally been provided to wives.

Now, the right to maintenance has been mentioned under Section- 125 of the Criminal Procedure code. Even Section- 18 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act also entitles a wife to maintenance by her husband for lifetime i.e. she will be given maintenance until she dies or her husband dies.

WHY MAINTENANCE TO WORKING WOMEN?

The concept behind such recognition is that a wife is deprived of many comforts after she leaves the matrimonial home. Sometimes, she loses interest in life. The monetary comfort from her husband gives her some solace. She might be living in her parental house but even then she has to incur some expenses. She has to constantly look after the child by performing her duties day and night. She does not get that support which she would have got in case she had been residing in the matrimonial home. It is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and it has to be put on a higher pedestal. Even if the wife is employed, she is entitled for the status and standard of living which she used to enjoy at her matrimonial home.

RECENT UPDATE ON MAINTENANCE

The Supreme Court of India has held that a woman can claim maintenance even though she is earning. An estranged woman can claim maintenance from her husband in spite of her efforts to earn a monthly income if that is not enough for her maintenance. It also clarifies that the expression ‘Unable to maintain herself’ does not require a wife to be absolute destitute before she can apply for maintenance.

It has been further clarified in a few more matters like, for husband, being jobless does not work as an excuse for not paying maintenance. Indian law also makes provision under Section 19 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 for claiming interim maintenance expenses for proceedings even during pendency of proceedings.

Therefore, even working woman get maintenance after a divorce in India such that she lives just like how she used to live in her matrimonial house and to support her children. Thus, with the change in time, the law dealing with maintenance have also changed and thereby, working women are also entitled to receive maintenance even after divorce in India, depending upon her living conditions after the divorce.

I don't think so. You can ask for equal division where your money is invested but you cannot demand that he part with his assets.

You may get alimony.
